"Call Me."
She took one final look at herself in the silver coffee machine, that she was using as a make-shift mirror, moved a stray piece of hair out of her face and sighed. Kate walked behind her, placed her hands on Colleen's shoulders and pulled her up straight.
"Babe! Don't worry, you look beautiful!" She said sternly turning her out to face the cafe. "Now go get him!" She laughed as she pushed her forward.
Colleen stumbled a few steps causing some customers to lift their heads, before carrying on with there conversations, but not Richard. He didn't take his eyes from the newspaper he was reading. She wasn't pleased. She quickly stood up straight and pulled down her t-shirt. She strutted through the cafe, her heels clicking on the hard wood floor, towards the seat he had taken by the window, trying to look as sexy as possible in her black long sleeved top and jeans. She attracted a pervy look from a business man and turned a few heads but still he didn't look up.
"Well Mr. Brook," she smirked down at him, hands on hips. "You've got 15 minutes to sweep me off my feet."
He looked up at her, laughing inwardly at the impatience on her face. He took her all in, her long legs, raven black swooping hair, emerald green eyes, flawless porcelain complexion, full lips, cute button nose. She was right; she couldn't have been more Irish if she tried.
"Please, call me Richard." He said, motioning her to sit down.
"Okay, Richard" she smiled, plopping down in the armchair.
"Well, Colleen Docherty."
"Just Colleen." She interrupted.
"Okay, Colleen." He laughed, leaning forward. "What's an Irish lass like you doing in London?"
"God you don't waste time!" She gasped, half laughing.
"Well you said you've only got 15 minutes." He replied smoothly, leaning back in his seat.
"True, true." She smiled, looking over to the counter where she saw Laura and Kate watching them, as if it were a T.V. show. "Oh my god!" She laughed under her breath.
"What?" Richard asked, following her eye line. Kate, knowing she was busted, quickly grabbed a tea towel and pretended she was working. Laura on the other hand continued leaning on the counter and raised her eyebrows at the pair, as if to say "Don't mind me, now get back to flirting!" Colleen laughed to herself at the typical Laura.
"Well Miss Docherty," Richard continued, "You never answered my question."
"I'm a dancer," She replied, almost to quickly. "Well I'm trying to be. I've not actually had a proper job yet." She said sheepishly, looking out the window. "How about you?" She asked, looking back to him, after a short moment of silence.
"I'm an actor." He replied coolly.
"No way!" She gasped.
"Yes way." He replied, cringing at himself. He watched her purse her lips, trying her best to hold back her laughter. "Wow. I can't believe I said that." He laughed at himself.
"Neither can I!" She giggled. Suddenly she burst out into full on laughter. "I'm sorry!" She apologised when she had calmed down a bit. "It's just I've not heard anyone say "yes way" since I was about 11" She laughed again, this time he joined in.
Suddenly a familiar song began to play. 'Well you can tell by the way I use my walk,'
"Oh my god, is that...'Staying alive'!" She giggled looking around for the source of the music. Then her eyes rested on Richard, who was looking sheepishly at his phone.
"Do you mind?" He said quietly, as if he was afraid to ask.
"With a ring tone as cool as that!" She joked. "No, go on." He smiled at her thankfully as he pressed the 'answer' button.
"This better be good!" He barked down the phone, causing Colleen to jump back in shock. "I'm kind of in the middle of something." He gave Colleen an apologetic look and mouthed a 'sorry'.
"It's okay." She whispered.
Richard looked out the window as he listened to what his caller had the say. Colleen looked around, awkwardly, until she heard a "pst!" come from the serving counter. She looked over too see Kate leaning over the counter top. "What's going on?" She mouthed. Colleen shrugged. "Why's he on the phone?"
"He said it was important!" Colleen mouthed back.
"More important than you?" Kate mouthed again.
Colleen laughed and was about the answer when Richard shouted "Are you sure!" Colleen looked back towards him. He seemed angry at something. "You better not be lying!" He shouted again. He sharply hung up before the person on the other end of the line had chance to answer.
"Everything okay?" Colleen asked, genuinely concerned. He sighed and dropped his head into his hands.
"Yeah." He replied after a moment of silence. "Look, I've got to go."
"Oh, okay." She replied, sort of taken a-back. "Well, I'll see you again? I guess?" She said standing up, unsure of whether that was the right thing to say.
"Oh you defiantly will." He replied cheekily, the Irish charm back. Standing up, he grabbed a card out of his jacket pocket and placed it in her hand. "Call me." He winked at her, his hand lingering a little long than it should have.
He turned towards the door and she watched him go, smirking at his back. He turned and took one final look at her before pushing open the door and gliding out.
